Oscar,

Keep marking off that calendar and before long you will mark off that last rad day and then you get to take that mask home for good.

I had a bad time with the pain meds, most of which caused nausea, so eventually I stopped taking all meds and the nausea ended and I felt better even though I had to contend with the pain. I hope you can find the right combination that works for you.
